There is, what appears to be, a decent die crack that runs from the tip of Lincoln's head, to the back of the head even with the middle of the ear. About half of it looks like a regular die crack. The bottom half gets wide and sort of looks like an attached lamination error. It looks you could peel off the bottom part. What do you guys think? Thanks for the help!

DrDon Pillar of the Community United States 2624 Posts	Posted 05/10/2013 5:01 pm Looks like a crack that is close to becoming a chip.Another hour or two,(or perhaps even days) it wil fall away and there will be a die chip there. Concerning zinc lamination, I suspect rolled zinc can have lamination problems but the plating process covers them up and they are therefor not noticed in the final product.Just my thoughts, not an expert opinion.
